    I am happy to say that I can place a check mark by each of my goals.
    1. I stuck to what I packed for my lunch but didn't even get a chance to eat all of my snack. Only a few carrots and 1 piece of celery.
    2. I finished a 24oz camelbak (I was at the point where I was just chugging it at the end because I was either really thirsty or just ready to finish the bottle, probably a combination of both).
    3. I am really proud of myself for resisting the last piece of apple pie in the refrigerator. I didn't even have second thoughts about it either.

    Looking forward to tomorrow!

    Keep up the good work ladies, we can do it!

    1. Managed to get in 4 cups of water, although I got a rather late start in drinking (after 5)
    2. Did NTC today, so 35 minutes of cardio / shoulders was knocked out
    3. No excess snacking today. Dinner, which was was off course, is another story

    Today's goals were to get in water, focus on balanced meals and complete NTC again.

    I achieved the water goal with what I am estimating to be 25 to 26oz. so far. My meals were slightly more balanced and pre-planned. The part of my day that I am most proud of is the fact that I actually wanted to complete NTC again, even passing up a nap (and when I've been up since 4:45am, I need a nap).

    I did eat crumbs (literally) of banana black walnut cake which was not planned; but those crumbs (broken pieces from cut pieces of cake) were better than eating one piece which packed close to 353 calories.

    Great job gettting the exercise in.. you have accomplished something I haven't not been able to which is pass up a nap and exercise. I understand how waking up early effects you. I am at work at 5:30... good luck on today's goals.

    Hello everyone.. a couple rough days here. Husband had a tooth extracted that was badly infected and so have spent the last couple days taking care of him. I couldn't resist when he asked me to stop at DQ for ice cream getting one for myself and so rushed cleaning and taking the dog to get spayed I didn't get any water or exercise. Today I WILL do better. No eating thangsiving food from the lunch room. Drink water and stay under my calories.

    Hang in there! Making one stop at DQ isn't the worst thing that you could have had. Everyone deserves a treat now and then. Look on the bright side, cleaning burned some calories and the walking you did while getting your dog ready, carrying your dog, etc. burned some more calories. Today is a new day and you can do what you put your mind to!!

    Today, I really didn't know what my goals were going to be . Therefore, I didn't really set any. One thing that I am proud of is the fact that my internship supervisor took me and another coworker out to eat today and I picked white rice and grilled chicken, instead of the fried rice that I was going to choose. Today's water intake was the best this week.

    Updated measurements and weigh-in tomorrow. My goal for tomorrow is to not get discouraged by what I may see on the scale, I have to remember that I have been using free weights this week so it may be muscle; at least that is what I am telling myself :o) .

    My goals for today (Nov. 23) are to not regret the fact that breakfast will be at Golden Corral, but learn to appreciate food even if the calories are not what I want to see. Exercise related, more NTC!!

    And, for a non-weight related goal, knock out some of this homework so I don't have to worry about it over Thanksgiving break. On a side note, I will never understand why college seniors have to do homework, doesn't seem fair. :smile:

    I am new here, just started on my fitness/weigh loss goals today. My two big goals are, 1) my son's wedding in June 2014 and 2) getting in better shape for when we are called back to the mission field.

    My immediate goals are:

    Daily workouts-- I am way out of shape again, so I am targeting 60 mins a day broken into 10 min increments, with the long term plan of working into 2- 30 min workouts. 6 days a week. I need the fitness level as much or more than the weight loss in my mind.

    Drink more water- I think this will help with hunger

    Work on staying under calories, I made my goals agressive (2 lbs a week) so my calorie limits are pretty low.
